H/s ATTORNEY tray. ingly inclined character of the walls 16, the device, even if tilted considerably by accident, as suggested by dotted lines 21 of Fig. 5, will operate to confine the ashes in the receptacle.

It will also be obvious that the invention may be rested on its floor supporting flange 14 and corresponding part of the flange 20, when placed on any flat surface such as that of a table within convenient reach of the user, and that when thus rested upon a soft or irregular surface the floor 17 coordinates with said flanges as a supporting base. 1 I I The weight head 12 is preferably constructed of one of the heavier metals, and it will be noted that the walls thereof are of sufficient thickness to provide ample weight for keeping same suspended below the bit spindle 5, through the pivotal relation of the rings 10 on the sleeves 8, it being understood of course that in addition to the weight of said weight head, the weight of the remainder of the receptacle coordinates with said weight head in positioning the receptacle as an entirety.

As before mentioned the flanges 9 of the sleeves 8 are spaced considerably apart, the plain ends of said sleeves abutting as illustrated in Fig. 1, and each of the rings 10 being adjacent one of said flanges, are accordingly spaced apart in order that they will together establish a journel of sufiicient length along its axis to stably support the aforementioned forwardly overhanging ash receptacle with its end plate 19. Said receptacle is thus pivotally supported for free rotation on said spindle and sleeves in said rings which are spaced far enough apart to prevent sagging of the forward end of same.

The invention may be assembled in different ways. The ash receptacle may befirst, connected with the bit 1 by means of the sleeves 8 and rings 10 by first inserting each of the two sleeves through one of said rings so that the plain ends of said sleeves come together. The spindle 5 is then pressed into said sleeves the rearward one being entered first; or one of said sleeves may be selected as the rearward one and pressed onto said spindle with its flange endagainst the shoulder 6. Said spindle is then inserted through the rings 10, bringing the already assembled sleeve within the rearward ring. The forward sleeve is then pressed onto said spindle and at the same time into the forward ring.

While the invention has been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it is understood that it is not entirely restricted to the example shown, but that variations may be made without departing from the scope of the appending claims.

The invention claimed is:

l. A cigarette holder and ash receptacle combined It will also be seen that because of the convergcomprising a bit, and an elongated ash receptacle extending forwardly beyond said bit, said receptacle having an end and weight element combined and a pivotal construction serving to pivot said element to said bit in receptacle operating relation therewith, said construction consisting of a sleeve means fixed around the forward end of said bit co-axially therewith, said sleeve means having flanges spaced apart, and a receptacle supporting ring means encircling said sleeve means between said flanges and being free to rotate thereon, said ring means being fixed to said element, and the overall axial length of said ring means, considered along the axis of said sleeve means, being sufticient to alone hold said receptacle substantially parallel to said axis.

2. A cigarette holder and ash receptacle combined comprising a bit, an elongated and forwardly pivotally depending ash receptacle having a horizontal floor wall and side walls all of which extend beyond said bit and having a hollow'aft end element with walls which overlap said floor and side walls and together surround the aft ends of the same, a mechanism pivotally suspending said end element from said bit in receptacle supporting relation said mechanism consisting of a sleeve means fixed around the forward end of said bit coaxially therewith said sleeve means having retaining flanges, and a free fitting ring means which encircles said sleeve means and is retained on the same by said flanges said ring means being mounted on said end element and the overall length of said ring means considered along said bit adapting same to hold said receptacle substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said bit.
